Description

Hi!

Could you please put the information about supported architectures to the documentation please? E.e. about supported architectures for different operating systems, some specific requirements to the supported instructions, if you have any (e.g. maybe AVX is required - I do not know). I have found information only about supporeted operating systems. Also, after some research I have found a JIT limitation - https://questdb.io/docs/concept/jit-compiler/#known-limitations (nad I am not sure, does it limit or not usage the whole DB on other architectures like ARM).

This kind of information is important for the end-users.

Thanks in advance!

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing supported-operating-systems documentation and the linked JIT known-limitations page. Verify supported architectures and instruction requirements across operating systems, including whether the JIT limitation affects ARM or the full database, then document the confirmed constraints for end users.
